"I'm getting drinks." Donnie replies impatiently, glaring at me.

"Theo and I will get them. Go... have fun." Lilly laughs at her brother’s sulky expression. Donnie leaves reluctantly, he glances back at us before disappearing into the crowd.

"I think you have an admirer there," I say when they leave.

"Well, I have many admirers." She smiles at me. "Donnie's just protective. I've known him for years. He kind of tried to make it more, but well we all know how I can't do relationships." She sounds almost sad. "He's like a brother to me though, and Harry's best friend."

"So, he tried to put the moves on you huh? Didn't really peg him for your type." I smirk at her.

"I don't really have a type, and if I didn't know any better I'd swear you’re jealous." She cocks an eyebrow.

"Ah, but to quote a very clever woman...you're playing in the big boy’s playground now." I smile at her and wink.

"I like the improvement." Her eyes flick over my body as her lips part and her tongue traces her bottom lip. She looks me in the eye and I can feel the weight of her desire like a tangible force. Her entire body is set solely for the purpose of enticing me.

"Keep thinking those thoughts Lilly..." I know I’m throwing fuel on the fire, but I do so love to provoke her less than tame side.

"Oh, you have no idea." She flashes a wry smile and narrows her eyes. She leans forward. "Horrible things." She whispers so close her breath tickles my neck. Her words making my already hard cock ache like a bitch. I'm about to tell her that I need her now, even if I have to take her to my car, when Louella appears at my side.

"Dinner will be in ten minutes...Oh Lilly, you look lovely dear. In fact...you two make a beautiful couple." She smiles fondly at me and winks before heading outside.

“Oh god.” Lilly grumbles. I chuckle to myself.

I buy the round of drinks and follow Lilly to her table. Molly, George, Donnie and Harry are already there.

Molly smiles brightly at me. "Hi Theo. You're looking very smart."

"Thank you Molly, you're looking lovely." She stands.

"Thanks." She blushes slightly.

"I should go rescue my sister, before my uncle gets her wasted. It's kind of a speciality of his." I say.

"Your sister is here?" Lilly asks brightly.

"Yeah, the young one over there." Even though she's twenty two now, I still see her as a little girl. I point to Cat as she's stood beside my uncle’s chair chatting to Louella.

Someone behind me lets out a low whistle. I turn and glare at the culprit to find Harry laughing. "Chill out man, I’m only kidding. She is a looker mind you."

Just as I’m about to rip him a new one Lilly punches his arm hard. "You're such a bloke. Have some respect. She is not a piece of meat!" She growls at him.

"Ow. You're such a bloke with a swing like that." She glares at him, but he just laughs. Apparently Harry doesn't take life too seriously. Throughout this entire exchange Donnie only sits and glares at me.

"I'll see you guys later." I wink at Lilly making her smile brilliantly.

Later in the evening Mike and I decide to hit the poker tables. Mikes fiercely competitive, but I almost never lose a hand at poker.

We sit and put in. I win the first three hands before the chair opposite me pulls out and Lilly takes a seat at the table. I smile and cock an eyebrow at her.

"Mr Ellis." She greets me.

"Miss Parker. I didn't take you for the gambling type." I say.

"Well, you shouldn't judge a book by its cover." She smiles sweetly. We play and she's surprisingly good. Not good enough to beat me, but better than mike. Eventually Lilly runs out of money, so I offer to team up with her. I move to stand behind her, leaning over her shoulder to play.

"Who taught you to play?" I whisper in her ear as the dealer places cards on the table.

"I taught myself. You learn quickly when necessary. I used to get roped into playing strip poker a lot." She smirks.

"I can't imagine why." I smile wryly.

"I never lost a single item of clothing in three years." She whispers, her eyes focused on the cards in front of her.

"Well, I might just have to challenge you to a game then." I say quietly.

"No games necessary." She smirks. I groan. Jesus the girl knows how to work a guy, I'll give her that.

"Careful, or I'll be throwing you over my shoulder and dragging you to my car."

She smiles broadly as she throws down a straight flush and wins the game. People clap as she smiles at them, charming everyone around her without even knowing it. "Care to dance Mr Ellis?" She cocks an eyebrow at me.
